Rubberband Man was released in 1976 by American soul group The Spinners, written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed, and became one of the group's signature hits with its playful rubber-band metaphor and driving funk arrangement. Decades later, short, boosted excerpts began circulating in online edits and meme videos, where the bouncy rhythm made even simple clips feel energetic. Its instantly recognisable groove and upbeat mood keep it in regular use for reveals, comebacks and light-hearted montages.
